OWU Homecoming Weekend 2009 in early October was a special occasion for a number of brothers of Theta Chapter (along with several spouses) as they gathered in Delaware to recognize Brother Jim “Gins” Ginsburg ’66 who was being inducted into the Ohio Wesleyan Athletic Hall of Fame. It was the first time that most of the Betas from the graduation years […]

The February 2008 issue of the Theta Data had a few e-mails concerning the passing of Brother Morgan Shrader Class of 1954 at OWU. I am adding here a little history that I am familiar with about Morg that some should find interesting. Morg came to the campus in September 1950 from Waverly in Southern […]

Thanks, Tom, for the news about Dee. It’s sad, indeed, that Dee is not with us, still, though, I heard that Pat was worried about the health issue back in ‘04, and she obviously had good reasons for that concern. Best regards to both of you, then, during these difficult times.

I am so sorry to receive the terrible news about Dee Simpson. When I think of Theta Chapter, one of my first memories is of our President standing before us. He will be missed by all who knew him, but I’m sure he is in a better place

As Class of ’51 Theta Chapter, we knew Dee well and enjoyed having him as a Brother sharing the Bond of Beta’s legacy of those before us and those that followed. Such was a richly heritage that served us well and educated us as much for life as did Ohio Wesleyan. Dee’s passing was sorrowful to read about and his attributes you mentioned in the […]

I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Dee’s passing. As a freshman going through “Rush”, one of the reasons I hoped to pledge Beta was the presence of Dee Simpson. He was a very impressive guy and one who made you feel really wanted in the fraternity. I remember playing intra-mural football with […]

Dee, was known to all of us who shared the Theta Chapter of Beta Theta Pi experience from September 1950 through May 1954 as “The Bat”. This was a loving reference to his late night habits at 54 West Lincoln. Dee, Bob Corey and I arrived through different avenues but found ourselves rooming together at […]
